I have plants to give away - in Annapolis

17 years ago

I posited them in the exchanges but I don't need anything for them. I wanted to post it here before I freecycle them.

One large Weigela

I am sorry but if you want it you will have to dig it out. I have been having some serious joint problems. Hopefully someone here or on freecycle will want it. It actually would have been sawed down by now if DH could get the hand-me-down chain saw working.

3 Leyland cypresses. I got from Home cheepo for $5 each last year they are nearly 5ft tall now. I dug em out because I am going to plant roses instead. There are not a lot of roots to them but they look okay nice and green though leggy. You will probably have to stake them.

I am in Annapolis so if your not far come and get them. I donÃ¢ÂÂt think it is really worth a long drive though.

Sweetie, are the Leeland cyprus gone?
I'd love to have them. Don't they get really tall and about 10' wide?

I'm going over to my house to work, so I won't be back until late tonight. I'll email you my phone, OK? :)

Thanks,
Christine

Hello lmoaks: I live in Ayer, and would love to take a Sunday drive to Hubbardston and see what you have left (if anything..) Will take whatever you have and would love a tour of your greenhouse if possible. Hubbardston is about 40 mins away but it is so beautiful this time of year with the gorgeous fall color. Feel free to email me or post. Thanks lots. Debra

Madeleine, Wow! I've been wanting black raspberry canes. I need more vinca and a few threadleaf coreopsis this year, too. And I know exactly where I would put Stella de Oro or Kwanso daylilies....if you have extras. Unfortunately, what I have from your want list, you already have, but my new favorite plant happens to be a biennial edible--flat-leaf parsley "Gigante D'Italia." It's so tough that I was digging it out from under the snow to harvest some in January. I started some seeds of it earlier this week (I decided the two huge plants in my garden just weren't enough!). I can plant another container if you're interested. Diana Lynn

Hi Hu, Check out your local plant swap events if there’s any. We are fortunate to have San Antonio plant swap organized by Loreleicomal from Houzz Texas gardening twice a year at Rogers Park in balconies heights. There are still out of town plant folks that have been coming as far as Dallas and Galveston bringing all kinds of plants to trade or just giving away for fun. You are welcome to join. Check out the next swap in 2019 will be in April. Regards, Mamachile

I have 1 Leyland cypress and 1 Green Giant arborvitae that you can have for the digging. Both are young and healthy, about 4-5' tall. The Green Giant looks like the leylands, but has a better root system and is supposedly more hardy.

I'm in Bel Air. If you see this, let me know quickly, since I'm leaving on vacation May 23 and won't be back until June 2. Of course, the little trees will still be there then . . .
Hope to hear from you soon.

I think Wallis ought to get the cypress by default!
The possibility of seeing someone in a Speedo who should not be in a Speedo is a ghastly thought.

Annette,
I've been pet sitting in Bethesda and off-line.
Thanks so much for the cyprus.

Your gardens are looking beautiful. I can tell you've put a lot of work into them. Started from scratch?

Nice to meet you, too. Perhaps next swap we can arrange a car pool ahead of time. :)

Thanks again,
Christine

Great idea! Maybe I will leave the kids behind too! lol!

Thanks for the complement!!! It is hard work but it makes me so happy. I just started gardening last year and your are right there was nothing!!! between freecycle, helping little old ladies remove hosts draping over their sidewalk, wintersowing, the swap, and a pretty hefty bulb purchase from www.vanengelen.com I think the garden has come a long way. Oh yes and an amazing end of the year sale at Home Cheepo on azaleas for 2.50 each. I know its evil but what are you going to do?..

Btw thanks for the plants the other day!!! What were they again? ;-/ the ones with the yellow flowers and the other variegated vine thing?
